Sorry about the all caps title - use caps at work.

I'm looking at these, anyone have any experience them. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchWheelsByVehicleAndSize.do;jsessionid=GFLZ5QQ 9DdpQK9MK7Jk0SzpTpwT25v3hb5GyHJZQYSmnwXRngSXb!2073 194287!NONE?mk=&yr=1993&wd=18&rw=&vid=000218&bp=

I'm pretty sure I should get the 18x8f and 18x9.5r. In the check out section it says I NEED the lug kit and hub rings, I thought these were a direct fit, did I miss something. Also tires 235/40 f and 245/40 r, or should I go 245 all around.

Thanks
Herb

these are replicas,so for whatever reason they have been made(I would guess so E 39 people can use them too) with the 74mm hub ID

You wont need the lugs, but you will need the rings. I suggest 235 all around if you want to rotate the tires yourself, otherwise go 235/40 front 265/35 rear. Thats the setup i run without rubbing on full load, some go 275 in the rear with rolled fenders.

That looks like a nice price for them. Let us know how you make out.
